Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Back to jail ... lol getting swapped by a team to finish this to London KY. I get to go right back to Carson CA. So I got 420 of this 2148 run and 535 of the one I'm getting.

Swapping in Winslow AZ. I'm here now waiting for the team. Hey, who knows? Maybe I'll get to rescue that second walmart load going to London .... LOL

 

I was told in orientation no Loves. Since then it's been repeted by Bill, Alan and our beloved JB. So unless its an emergency (if it is I probably dropped the ball), no fuel at Loves for me. Besides, I find the flying J showers the best overall.

 

One of the owners of Abilene. Three brothers, Keith, Kolon, and Kurtis. Alan Jones, head of dispatch, is Kurtis' son.

So when I hear it from him, well, I think it's allowed.

 

Too bad I'm asking too much for them to tell us ALL. I'll start flip-flopping. More showers that way.

 

I'll try to bail you out. I'm gonna put in for a one day visit with my sister and her husband in San Jose, Ca. Then, turn around and have to be back in Mobile to help my MIL with a medical appointment.

 

We need to do this. Just not at 1am. How about noon in DC?

No, they have not... Still crap.
PFJ showers are better.

 

Since you know all the big dogs so well RC, could you put in a request for a truck wash for my poor baby? Shop says it has none. I just got this thing and it NEEDS one badly! Please .. Please ... Pretty Please? LOL

 

Sshhhh.... Here's the secret... You ask as many people as you need until you get the answer you like... Then go with it... LOL

 

And yes, during orientation last year I was told the same thing... PFJ only and if you "have to" the card will work at Love's... Never heard anything about TA/Petro.

I've heard other drivers that fuel at Loves with no issues... And I have done so too from time to time... The points are much better and you get a free drink with purchase too... But, the PFJ showers are much nicer and cleaner and easier to get using the kiosk for a key code vs waiting in line for a number and then go get the key.

From experience with Abilene, I think it's another one of those things that they may say "X" but have no way to follow up on it or not willing to hire the personnel needed to follow up on it to be able to actually implement it.

All I need it fuel and showers so I do use PFJ but I have no issue with swinging into a Loves if needed. Plus loves has that Tire Pass Program too... I used that on a couple trucks but have yet to set it up on this one.

Maybe if/when I get a truck I know I'm staying in for a long time I will do it again... LOL
